Sanskrit is the oldest language of our country and it is believed that most of the Indian languages have evolved from Sanskrit. It depicts the linguistic heritage and background of the nation and is the language mostly associated with Indian culture and heritage. Sanskrit has also been the language that had laid the foundation for traditional sciences. But, due to changing trends, the language is becoming extinct gradually as people are gradually moving on to the newly found languages. It has therefore raised the critical need for propagating the language and work towards popularizing the language and Rajasthan Sanskrit University was set up to fulfill this goal.
